Another totally unsubstantiated fabrication, this time aimed at miseducating youths who were not born at that time. Don't worry, the oil will soon become useless, and you'll go pan-handling in Enugu or Onitsha as usual, time will tell.

Why am I not surprised?? Because this atrocity was committed against a non-Igbo, you now call it an 'unsubstantiated fabrication.' If it was an Igbo man that said he suffered this kind of inhuman act, you would start wailing, shouting and waving it as proof! God dey!!!

u guys are the ones doing those ones with them,
we igbos have been far too peaceful since the end of the civil war that some people are beginning to take us for granted, a tribe like idoma or nupe or igala cant talk when northerners are talking even if they like let them call thereself middle belt or Northcentral or anything, we igbos at d nearest confrontation with our host which we try our best to avoid we pack our bags and run back to the east, but look at the fulanis they dictate to there host how they want things to be, if problem starts they would fight u squarely, if things gets out of hand they order for more backup from there brothers in the far away north, u would see fulanis fighting to there last blood over a state or land thats not theres look at plateau what happened there some days ago, over the years there has been various cases of fulani attacks on locals but everybody shuts up but if its igbos yorubas would become warriors from cowards over night, all these noise these minorities are making would there cups would full soon, if they attack we igbos we wont run again we would go and bring backup and teach them a lesson, highest thing Nigeria would do is declare a state of emergency or arrest fighters from both sides this rubbish is becoming too much, some southsouth people organised a protest the stup1d ppl said it was igbos and where threatening brim stone, when the names of the people came out they were still southsouth people they still insist they are igbos, very soon una cup go full.

How dare you say that "a tribe like idoma or nupe or igala cant talk when northerners are talking even if they like let them call thereself middle belt or Northcentral or anything," Are you for real??

Have you ever attended meetings where far northerners are talking, and the Igala & Idoma were unable to talk?

What do you think led to the agitation of the Middle Belt Movement?? Why do folks like you keep recycling thrash!!

highmood:
Joe Igbokwe's views is similar to my post on the heading "Akure-monarch-bans-eze-ndi-igbo- title in Akure-punch". Joe Igbokwe said it all but he should caution himself on the use of derogatory words. It's too much of him.
But the truth remains that, there is no need for Eze ndi igbo title. What are thier gains to the igbos? Are they making the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo organization useless?

May God bless Joe Igbokwe 10 million times every single day!

May the glory and favour of God continue to envelop him.

May he never lack any good thing in this life.

May all those things that bring him happiness, joy and progress never cause him sorrow.

May Chukwu Okike continue to protect him, his family and lineage from the evil attacks and venomous words of ill-mannered men. Isee!

First of all, I see nothing wrong with having an Eze Ndi'Igbo in any community or local govt, provided they do not arrogate any supremacy to themselves, or flout any directives issued by indigenous traditional rules within that domain, or contest any allegiance due to the rightfully crowned monarchs who are the sovereign kings in that territory, or even exhibit any disrespect to constituted monarchical authority in the land.

The Eze Ndi'Igbo in Akure exhibited all these unruly behaviours, and more from all written accounts on the incident.

The Sarkin Hausa or leaders of the Hausa communities in various regions, have existed from time immemorial. But there has not been any recorded case of anyone of them actually confronting or disrespecting traditional kings, within their communities. The Tiv, Nupe, Edo and Ibibio also have similar community heads, who represent their interests in various communities across the country.

How many of them have been disrespectful or insulting to the traditional rulers, in their areas? All the antics that the Eze Ndi'Igbo in Akure carried out, can he try it in Kano, Jigawa, Yobe or Sokoto?? Would the supporters of the Emir not have turned it into a deadly affair against the Eze's kinsmen?

Abeg, respect begets respect. All Eze Nd'Igbo in every single community must learn this attribute and exhibit it, at all times. Disrespect has been known to start wars and breed deadly conflicts.

fagbalex:
To be frank to ourselves, this Man had stood up and say the truth. Some wailing wailer will come out strongly to dent this beautiful article but truth they said is bitter. Until when Igbos come to realize that they need to respect the custom, does and does not of their host community, that's when the world will rally around them. Without that they want to be causing chaos and commotion in the polity. I know they dare not try such in the north because Hausa people are no nonsense people, just that my people people are u accommodating, that's y Igbos are taking us for granted.

Gbam!! I pray they will all listen and accept the truth! Even among the Asians where respect is sacrosanct, the Americans kept losing business opportunities in China and Japan, due to the fact that they (i.e. Americans) had not learnt enough about their culture, and were not showing enough respect to their Chinese and Japanese hosts!

Nobody told them, before they started learning how to show the level of respect demanded by those Asian communities and businessmen, so that they could win their business.

theDEVILisHERE:
Did frederick lugard and his fellow demonic british slave master use any passport to come to africa and enslave various indeginous groups

When Biafra is restored Biafrans will definately stop using all foriegn passports
Till then
Nnamdi Kanu, Ipob as well as other Biafrans can use any passort they like to get into the british slave camp so as to carry out their mission of it's disbandment and the restoration of their true nation

Who told you Lugard did not have a passport when he was coming to Africa?? Oga, go and study your history well, o. They had 'travel papers,' in those old days, which they used to board ships coming to Africa. Those 'travel papers' were the precursors of the passports that you have today.

With the way you chaps keep cursing Lugard as well as Nigeria, I am surprised that your compatriots would actually choose to use passports issued by either Britain (Lugard's home country) or Nigeria.

Ok, I get it. You guys use one hand to collect the benefits that would facilitate your travel plans with ease by using passports issued by those countries, while you use the other hand to type trash about them and vilify their citizens online. Why couldn't you have used Biafran passports or UN travelling certificates issued to refugees?

Kponkwem:
My brother, I agree there were atrocities by Biafran troops, but it has not been established on the scale the writer made it out. If substantiated as you have suggested, there are causes because of the communication gaps that existed then. Neither would I support the suggestion that the atrocities as the major factor that made Biafra to fall. Ojukwu throughout the war requested the British and UN to organise a referendum for all the minorities, the Nigerian government guided by Gowon, Awolowo and Enahoro would have non of that and Britain continued to equip the war for Nigeria. Why was Ojukwu so confident of a referendum for the so-called minorities?

You will agree with me that up till today, the Igbo believe that the Nigerian and minority question can only be resolved through true federalism. If Biafra, through referendum for the Igbos and her neighbours. Let it be known that Igbo are not interested in anybody's oil. SE have enough resources and can muster billions of dollars in local and diaspora funds to take off as a free nation. Let non-Igbos never bother about being coerced into Biafra. Biafra is by choice, if you wish. This should be the major condition for any UN action on this agitation

Guy, please free your mind. People such as Alabo have given eye-witness accounts of what they witnessed during the war, while others have also written about it, yet you keep saying "it has not been established on the scale that the writer made out?" Are you for real??! Must you trivialise the pain of others, to make a point?

As for conducting referendums, why did Ojukwu NOT conduct a referendum, before the civil war when he was sitting pretty as Governor of Eastern Nigeria?? Why did he not conduct a referendum, before the pogrom in the north, or even before he declared secession??

In my view, we all need to talk about the civil war, from the perspective of our experiences, without denigrating the next person's account of events. We need to ensure that everyone learns from history, as those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Before talking about federalism, we need to entrench accountability and transparency. Let all the governors be held accountable for every amount that gets into their treasury, and for every way in which it is disbursed, lest we exchange one tyranny for another.

As the Scriptures say, he who is not faithful in little, cannot be faithful in much. Federalism is not a magic wand, that will cure all our ills.

Back to the civil war accounts of non-Igbos. Many of them have been documented, but a lot of folks merely chose to pretend that it does not exist. Yet, we need to all tell our stories in order to preserve our history, for generations yet unborn.

Chimamanda Adiche: Ethnicity has become, in Nigeria, more political than cultural, less about philosophy and customs and values, and more about which bank is a Yoruba or Hausa or Igbo bank, which political office is held by which ethnicity, which revered leader must be turned into a flawless saint. We cannot deny ethnicity. It matters. But our ethnic and national identities should not be spoken of as though they were mutually exclusive; I am as much Igbo as I am Nigerian. I have hope in the future of Nigeria, mostly because we have not yet made a real, conscious effort to begin creating a nation (We could start, for example, by not merely teaching Maths and English in primary schools, but also teaching idealism and citizenship.)

For some non-Igbo, confronting facts of the war is uncomfortable, even inconvenient. But we must hear one another’s stories. It is even more imperative for a subject like Biafra which, because of our different experiences, we remember differently.

Biafran minorities were distrusted by the Igbo majority, and some were unfairly attacked, blamed for being saboteurs. Nigerian minorities, particularly in the midwest, suffered at the hands of both Biafrian and Nigerian soldiers.

..... All of these stories can sit alongside one another. The Nigerian stage is big enough. Chinua Achebe has told his story. This week, he turns 82. Long may he live.

Deltagiant:
Be a little sensible. What is primary here is the fact that Mrs Harman saw legitimacy and legality in Kanu's action. It propelled her conscience and action. That she represents Kanu's borough was irrelevant as she wouldn't stick out her head if Kanu's activities were against the law. Come on, what is central here is whether Kanu acted legally within an international law which Nigeria was/is a signatory. And which the Dullard himself reaffirmed in his September 28 address to the UN.

On point 28 of his address to the UN, Buhari said, "...Neither do we have the moral right to deny any people their right to freedom or condemn them to a permanent occupation" Even as you know that such a people are also backed by internaional law. Major media houses in the world have carried the news of Kanu's arrest, everything they wrote was in his favor.

Remember that Michael Adebolajo had a British rep of his borough. Why didn't he speak for him?

You chaps and propaganda! You could not make your point about Adebolajo so you had to insert the photograph? Interesting. Well, it is not known if anyone appealed to Adebolajo's MP to intervene in his case. If you have facts to support this, please provide it. You would have to ask the Yoruba folks too if they have any info on this one, 'cos I don't.

As for Harman, pray tell "what legitimacy and legality in Kanu's action propelled her conscience and action?" Are you trying to say that Kanu's inciting remarks, calls for violent action and hate speech against Nigeria, are supported by Harman?? Kindly let us know.

You now claimed that the fact that "she represents Kanu's borough was irrelevant as she wouldn't stick out her head if Kanu's activities were against the law." Are you for real??! Are you psychic to know what informed her decision to intervene, or are you now a mind reader?

Are you sure Kanu's supporters who wrote letters of appeal to her asking her to intervene, actually told her that under Nigerian law Kanu's treasonable statements and hate speeches, constitute an offence? Guy, receive sense, I beg. It shows that you know nothing about how British political representatives, operate. She was probably made to believe it was a political breach, and not a criminal offence. She did not write out of a good conscience.

If Kanu was NOT resident in her borough and he did not carry a British passport, she would NOT have intervened. The last thing MPs want, is to be accused of insensitivity, unresponsiveness or nonchalance, by their constituents. It is part of their duties to respond to all letters, complaints and appeals made by members/residents of their borough. It is part of the reasons why they were elected, for crying out loud!

Since you are still crying that she acted out of good 'conscience,' let us see the letter that triggered her conscience, or is that too much to ask? Oya, kindly post a copy of the letter of appeal written by Kanu's supporters to Harman here, so that everyone can be the judge.

Kponkwem:
What you wrote on facebook is very much one-sided and is not only novel, but largely unsubstantiated. You failed to highlight the exigencies and confusions of the war situation which led to whatever you alleged the Biafran army did wrongly.

You believe Gowon would reveal the atrocities of the war when Nigeria, like its British creator, has been a rogue state involved in genocide, ethno-religious killings and human rights violations which it manifested in its monstrous forms in the war both in PH and Igbo heartlands.

I can assure you that for every Graham Douglas extrajudicially killed by the Biafram army, there are one thousand Graham Douglasses and Okafors also extrajudicially killed by the federal troops during the independence conflagration.

My landlord, an Ogoni man fought that war on the Biafran side,and the only thing he agrees happened in what you enumerated above was the evacuations- that he also attributed to a movement to safer hinterland areas because of the operation of federal troops from the coastline. Many people died on that long trek to the hinterlands, he said. How were the Biafran troops directly responsible for this?

Elechi Amadi and other Ikwerre/Rivers leaders were at the Oputa panel in 2005. When the Ohaneze confronted them with some of the atrocities of misguided riverine persons against their hinterland Igbo brothers during and after the war, they couldn't handle it and mere flared up. How did the federal troops access the coast routes to attack PH and Biafran hinterlands? Let all verifiable truths be brought to the open immediately so that we all could get the healing we deserve.

Now I leave you with this question to chew on you since you appear to hold the above strong opinion: Do you consider it truly a 'liberation' that the federal government carved out Rivers State as autonomous from the 'old Eastern Region' but refuse to allow them free control of their resources which was taken with the left hand through revenue consolidation in Abuja, local governments, 600 ambiguous agencies, and states creations?

Dem don start! Because the atrocities were committed against non-Igbo minorities by the Biafran soldiers, you are now referring to the writer's account as "unsubstantiated." God dey!

It is part of the typical tactics of your people, to discard any true-life accounts by non-Igbo minorities, and wallow in self-denial.

Sam Enadeghe Umweni wrote about his own personal experience, and the atrocities he witnessed inside the Biafran enclave in his book, '888 Days in Biafra,' published by iUniverse, Inc., in 2007. Yet, the proponents of propaganda are always in a hurry to dismiss his account.

It is not only among Rivers people, that there were complaints of atrocities. Other non-Igbo minorities recorded the same fate. Even General Godwin Alabi-Isama in his book titled the 'Tragedy of Victory', noted that when the federal forces landed in Uyo & Calabar, they discovered one thing: "...the atrocities committed by Biafran troops on the people of Uyo and Annang were legendary."

.... To drive home his point, his book contained some pictures portraying the damages caused by Biafran soldiers among the Annang and the people of Uyo. He wondered why someone would hold the 3MDCO responsible for crimes committed by Biafran soldiers. "Most of the atrocities allegedly committed by the 3MDCO, Isama insisted, were actually perpetrated by Biafran soldiers...."

Also in a book written by General Phillip Effiong, a former Biafran general who, apart from being the Chief of Defence Staff of the Biafran Armed Forces. According to Effiong in his book, Nigeria and Biafra: My Story (Pages 220 and 221) “… When I visited the Brigade shortly before the invasion, particularly in Uyo and Calabar areas, I received a lot of complaints from the local people about unsavoury treatment by our (Biafran) troops.

I drew Colonel Eze’s attention to the complaints and urged him to improve relations with the civilians. “At Uyo, military-civilian relations were so strained that I had to personally intervene to release a local newspaper editor from detention. Such acts on my part were not just a question of feeling alone for my people, but also a question of justice and sense of belonging in an emergent Biafran State.

Were these arrests, false accusations, and detentions a sign of things to come in an independent Biafra? These issues bothered me as they would anyone else in my position then….. “

So Biafra HQ is even in spain?! What happened to Aba or Onitcha? I wonder how people scattered all over the world could demand secession, and are still not ready to return. I just can't help but SMH

ROFLMAO!! LWKMD!

Igbos are only doing business, right? ... please check 3 best WASSCE, JAMB states in Nigeria. Check the states with the highest number of professors, doctorates and Bsc in Nigeria. Let me teach you a little economics, have you asked why most South West states have the highest debt? Simple... lack of productivity.

Guy, stop the boasting and comparisons laced with propaganda.

All we are asking is that if those claims are true he should provide facts, figures and data to corroborate his claims, so that we can see the evidence in black & white. He should not just pluck 80% out of thin air! Haba! Shebi, you go school now. Weren't you taught these simple things??

asEdeyHOT:
Another first hand account that confirms Igbo cannibalism and wickedness

The writer witnessed the butchering of his uncle and he was then dismembered and his body parts sold in a Biafra market.

Interesting......

The murders and atrocities committed by biafran soldiers confirms the lies by Igbos that they were only defending themselves against aggression from Northern Nigeria. The real cause of the war was Igbo greed and an attempt to gain access to oil in the Niger Delta. As soon as Gowon created Rivers State and removed it from the former eastern region, Ojukwu went mad

This is the same strategy that Igbos are using today with their fake love for the SS.

Alabo Abiye-Akio Abbey should have written a book about all these atrocities, and recorded a documentary to preserve the facts for the present generation, and those yet unborn.

A few months ago, I had told someone on another thread that soldiers on both sides (i.e. the federal side and the Biafran side), committed atrocities, during the war. Thank God for the anonymity of the internet. I probably would have been e-lynched that day, by the pro-Biafr.a group, despite citing a documentary evidence from different sources, to corroborate my statements.

They argued that the Biafra soldiers were saintly professionals, and those statements were being made to tarnish their image. Imagine!

We need more true-life stories on the civil war. There are different perspectives from every side that need to be brought to the fore.

Then why was he traveling with a Nigerian Passport? What happened to his Biafran Passport?

ROFLMAO!! He was not travelling with a Nigerian passport. He was travelling with a British passport, issued by Lord Frederick Lugard's people (or descendants) in the UK.

The same Lugard that Kanu's supporters keep cursing and vilifying for setting up Nigeria!

Deltagiant:
@ the bolded. Harriet Harman's action, no doubt, will be very difficult for a primitive heart of darkness like you to comprehend.

While slavery was going in the UK and Americas, significant number of whites, touched by their conscience, were brutally vocal of slave owners and slavery. They didn't bother about the fact that they were whites and were never viewed in good light by the slaves themselves.

Again, of course, this is one of the mllion qualities that differentiates an average European who will admit his wrong doing visàvis the evil and unprogressive people like you all over the dark continent. CONSCIENCE.

Guy, it is easy for you to quote 'conscience', here. Are you trying to tell us that none of Kanu's supporters brought his plight to her attention, before she responded? Or that none of his folks abroad appealed for her intervention before she wrote that letter? Or that all their demonstrations were for nothing? Abeg, leave matter for Maathias. Harriet Harman's response was merely based on the fact that she owed a duty to her constituents, based on her job. C'est fini. And Kanu lived in a borough, that fell under her constituency. Period.

Any MP that wants to write a letter on your behalf, would request that you first put your wishes in writing stating clearly what the problem is, and what kind of solutions you seek. Simple. It is a pity that those posting Harriet Harman's letter, did not also post their own letter of appeal to Harman alongside her response.

You can recycle your tales about 'conscience' to your fellow Igbo that keep maligning Nigeria, vilifying her citizens and cursing Lord Lugard's memory. Advise them to let Lugard rest in peace, if they have any 'conscience.'

After cursing his memory in the morning, they are running to meet his people in the evening, in order to seek foreign help to effect their son's release. They are the ones with the primitive heart of darkness!

Yoruba will not like this, even when Benue governor lured them to come to their state with incentives, igbo people will leave their place go to China bring it in, send it to kano kaduan kogi etc, thee indigene will come out from their house to buy it. Yoruba will finish school and be carrying files up and down, while his igbo counterpart will be planning to go to China and dubai. A friend of mine in dubai has a yoruba guy with him over there, the igbo guy, sends goods to nigeria the yoruba guy uses his own to buy clothes shoes etc....
Well all these companies in ogun state who distribute their goods? Go to Iyana ipaja where they're selling iron, the companies are in lagos and ogun, but the irons are distributed across nigeria, by these igbo people! You call them tradeer, but if they show you their account you will faint.....

Gịnī ḳwọ bùḍù ̣ǹke à? Nobody is denying the fact that they are traders. But to say they pay 80% of the taxes in Nigeria...mba nu! How can?? Where are the figures and data to support this assertion? We are not children, o!

Like I said on another thread, these people are really so funny. Comedians of the highest order. They are the same people who lambasted Lord Lugard for setting up Nigeria. One of their folks called it a 'contraption' and stated that it had expired, after raining insults, curses and vitriol on Lugard for putting different ethnic groups together, inside one country. He even went as far as calling those who believe in Nigeria, 'colonial slaves.'

Now, these pro-Biafra people have run to the same country where Lord Lugard was born, to petition his people or his descendants, or should I say descendants of his compatriots in Britain, to come to their rescue and free Nnamdi Kanu, their director!

So all of una decided to protest to Kanu's MP and get her to write a letter to the Nigerian authorities, which you are all displaying here. Una no dey shame?? Chai! So all those protesters could not raise a contribution inside Ala'Igbo to get enough money to cover his bail in order to free him??

Una no go kill person with laugh for here. I am sure Lugard must be reeling in laughter inside his grave, at the cluelessness of Kanu's supporters!! LWKMD!!

@basilo101, na wah for you, o! Don't let hate poison your soul. Because of this hatred you have for Yoruba people, you decided to label their area as Oduastan. Biko, who asked you to carve out a country for them, or give it a name?? Did they ask for your help??

This is why their people will always turn round to insult you, because you keep setting yourself up for such things.

Bia kete, make we waka comot before dem begin take us do yeye for here.....

basilo101:
kid. i guess the huge protest and the numerous non-igbos ready to be jailed for Kanu are still nairaland rant. the longer he stays there the greater the impact of his release, especially if its later unconditional as a result of pressures. The question is, who is ready to sacrifice for Oduastan the way Kanu is doing for Biafra? the pressures for his release has started coming and when he is finally released unconditionallly, he becomes a hero, go and do same for Oduastan

You people are really so funny. Comedians of the highest order. You are the same people who lambasted Lord Lugard for setting up Nigeria.

You are a very unserious seller, or you are trying to scam people here.

You are opening a thread with zero information on the property you are selling. And you expect people to waster their hard-earned credit to call...you??

Is there a law that says you should not post all the details about that property online so people can see it and verify??

The guy is a fraud. He has either been paid some money by a few Igbo traders to write that story, or maybe he has political ambitions and he needs their support in the next election. Until I see the data and numbers, I do not buy his story. He probably wanted to say that they are the highest tax payers in Alaba, Ladipo, Okokomaiko and a few other areas.

Even at that, how many traders have documentary evidence to support their tax payment claims? Chukwudi my spare parts seller, does not have anything like that, I'm sure....

This yorubaboons actually thought it waa lack of funds that's keeping him there? Omg!

If he pays that money, it is an admittance of guilt. BIafrans all over the world ask for his release UNCONDITIONALLY. The terrorists who kidnapped him "officially' will not get a dime from Biafrans. That's the message here.

Taa! Stop those stories. Paying bail is not an admission of guilt, anywhere in the world. Where did you read your own law?? Tell the truth. Nobody wants to discredit himself or lose money, by standing surety for a man who would eventually jump bail! He will run back to England once he is released. Admit it! Even those of us who are not Yoruba can see through your excuses!

kingzizzy:
Look at a Nigerian "awarding" Nigerian citizenship to Nnamdi Kanu, a man who has been shouting on Radio that he not a Nigerian. There must be something attached to this bail that we haven't heard about yet. If it was just money, I would bail him today.

The Zoo must fall!!

Taa! Oya, go and bail him right now and stop making noise here on NL. I dare you to carry out your boast. Go on! Nobody is stopping you! If you do not do it, then your name is not.....

Tochukwu you are not a reporter. You are a Biafra protagonist, I have always monitored you statements.cut the bull shit.I guess you have destroyed yours too.Don't worry we will either increase the fee for passport collection or we move it out of your enclave may be we would ask people from your Biafra enclave when ever they want to collect Our Nigerian Passport they would all have to go to Sokoto.then next time you will learn to value the passport alternatively try and use your Biafra passport.

Bros, leave that guy alone. You know quite well that the Igbo a.k.a Biafra supporters are itinerant travellers. Ask those destroying their passports, where they are currently located. If they are outside Nigeria and need to travel back home, they would need a travel document. December is fast approaching, so those mandatory visits to the village, must take place. And if they are within Nigeria and need to travel abroad for business to China, Malaysia, Dubai etc, they would still need a passport. Yes or No?

Either way, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) is still going to make extra money from them this year, as they would need to replace those passports. Igbo man and travelling, is like water and garri. Inseparable. Just relax.

For all you know, they may have been grandstanding, or playing to the gallery by tearing up the expired ones. Hehehehe...... Cunny man die, cunny man bury am!

Pavore9:

MAJESTY2828:
For those gullible people that are so callous and sees noting good about Senator Buruji Kashamu they are left with their rebellious view. To me SBK remains a great icon of repute, a man with uncommon pedigree ans caring heart. I stand with him anyday and no amount of insult here can make us change our mind about him

How much did he pay you??

Can it fly for =N=1.3mill??

truefact:
Fetishes yorubas claims all the goodie goodies. Diabolical yorubas claims sophistication and progressive, then

Why do yorubas still want be in the same country with violent-illiterate hausa-fulani?

Why do yorubas still want to be with uncultured igbos?

What is wrong with yorubas?
Or are yorubas simply living on lies?

Why do you igbo folks hate the Yoruba so much? Na wah, o! Those of us from other tribes find this e-war rather funny.

Anyway, the question I wanted to ask is why do the Igbo keep attacking and vilifying other non-Igbo ethnic groups over Biafra when they have not taken realistic steps to do the following:

1). Send a formal, well-documented request to the President (and people) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, asking for a separate country;
2). Raise a motion through the legislature seeking for a peaceful exit from Nigeria;
3). Recall their elected officers in the Senate & House of Reps as well as the President's cabinet, back to Ala'Igbo.
4). File a motion through the law courts all the way to the Supreme Court if their request is not granted, to ask the Supreme court to compel the executive to grant their request for their own republic;
5). Take the case for self-determination to the African Union (AU), United Nations etc;
6). Mobilise support (I did not say use insults, o! ehen) and goodwill from other ethnic groups, as well as international human rights agencies, international NGOs etc, resident in Nigeria for their cause;
7). Explore non-violent documented means of sharing the assets of the federal govt located in Biafra, with the existing Nigerian state by either repatriating all funds within the custody of the SE governors back to the federal treasury, or by offering to pay a full and fair amount to cover the cost of assets and infrastructure owned by the federal govt, in the SE;
. The list is long, but let me stop here.

Now when all other non-Igbo groups end up seeing these, then they would know you are serious. Until then, biko stop disturbing us with your noise and shallow hate-speech.
